Big Red And ArthurIf you’re not a bird watcher, skip on down to the next hiking news tidbit!Otherwise, watch hawks Big Red and Arthur raise a new brood this spring and summer, in a mere 4 minutes. Best part: The chicks are seriously silly looking!
September 11th National Memorial TrailHurrah! Another new trail!The September 11th National Memorial Trail is a 1,300 mile multi-use (walk, bike) route linking the World Trade Center (NYC), the Pentagon (Arlington VA), and the Flight 93 Memorial (Shanksville PA). It makes use of the East Coast Greenway and the Great Allegheny Passage. Lots to see! Caveat: It also uses roads and small highways, definitely not a serene route its entire length.
Take A Hike DayOn November 17, 2021 spend the day celebrating all things hiking because it's National Take A Hike Day!Here are a few words that describe how hiking makes us feel. What word would you use? 
Hiking Research NewsDid you know that as a hiker, you’re considered an endurance athlete?And that’s great news, according to a new study entitled “Acute endurance exercise stimulates circulating levels of mitochondrial-derived peptides in humans.” (link below takes you to the Journal of Applied Physiology). The short version: Acute resistance exercise does not give you the benefits that hiking does, in terms of increasing the activity of mitochondria. You want active mitochondria for good overall health, because they produce energy for your cells. Well supplied cells, good metabolic outcomes in terms of blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels, blood pressure just to name three important examples. So keep hiking!
